1. Shout joyful praises to God, all the earth!
|
|
|
|
2. Sing about the glory of his name!
|
|
|
|
Tell the world how glorious he is.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Say to God, "How awesome are your deeds!
|
|
|
|
Your enemies cringe before your mighty power.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Everything on earth will worship you;
|
|
|
|
they will sing your praises,
|
|
|
|
shouting your name in glorious songs." Interlude
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Come and see what our God has done,
|
|
|
|
what awesome miracles he performs for people!
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. He made a dry path through the Red Sea,
|
|
|
|
and his people went across on foot.
|
|
|
|
There we rejoiced in him.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. For by his great power he rules forever.
|
|
|
|
He watches every movement of the nations;
|
|
|
|
let no rebel rise in defiance. Interlude
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. Let the whole world bless our God
|
|
|
|
and loudly sing his praises.
|
|
|
|
|
|
9. Our lives are in his hands,
|
|
|
|
and he keeps our feet from stumbling.
|
|
|
|
|
|
10. You have tested us, O God;
|
|
|
|
you have purified us like silver.
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. You captured us in your net
|
|
|
|
and laid the burden of slavery on our backs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
12. Then you put a leader over us.
|
|
|
|
We went through fire and flood,
|
|
|
|
but you brought us to a place of great abundance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
13. Now I come to your Temple with burnt offerings
|
|
|
|
to fulfill the vows I made to you--
|
|
|
|
14. yes, the sacred vows that I made
|
|
|
|
when I was in deep trouble.
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. That is why I am sacrificing burnt offerings to you--
|
|
|
|
the best of my rams as a pleasing aroma,
|
|
|
|
and a sacrifice of bulls and male goats. Interlude
|
|
|
|
|
|
16. Come and listen, all you who fear God,
|
|
|
|
and I will tell you what he did for me.
|
|
|
|
|
|
17. For I cried out to him for help,
|
|
|
|
praising him as I spoke.
|
|
|
|
|
|
18. If I had not confessed the sin in my heart,
|
|
|
|
the Lord would not have listened.
|
|
|
|
|
|
19. But God did listen!
|
|
|
|
He paid attention to my prayer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
20. Praise God, who did not ignore my prayer
|
|
|
|
or withdraw his unfailing love from me.
